The purpose of the Salvatorians is to strengthen, to defend and to spread the Catholic faith everywhere insofar as this is committed to it by Divine Providence. Therefore, by exercising this ecclesiastical teaching function in word and writing, it intends to achieve the end that all people might know more and more the one true God and Him whom He sent, Jesus Christ.

The purpose of a sponsor certificate is for the individual (sponsor) to aid the candidate in leading a Christian life in a manner that faithfully fulfills the

obligations of Catholic faith. To do this, the individual must be living the Catholic faith. The certificate is a sworn statement that attest you are actively attending mass, practice the catholic faith, and have received

Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation. Therefore, if you are not a registered parishioner of this parish, you

will not be able to be a sponsor. If you wish to become a parishioner, then you must register and wait a three-month period before we give you the certificate.

Completing the Sacraments in this parish does not qualify you to receive a sponsor certificate.

GOD’S PLAN FOR GIVING

Our parish church is totally dependent upon your finan-cial support and generosity. Without your

generosity we as a parish church could not function. Unfortunately, it takes money and we must pay the bills like any other household. The only difference is

that we are much, much bigger. Please be generous with God’s given treasure

in supporting your parish church. Please consider tithing (5% of your income) if you have not done so in the past.

The Good Lord rewards you for your generosity and sacrifice.

Dedication of St. John Lateran

Most Catholics think of St. Peter’s as the pope’s main church, but they are wrong. St. John Later-an is the pope’s church, the cathedral of the Dio-cese of Rome where the Bishop of Rome pre-sides. The first basilica on the site was built in the fourth century when Constantine donated land he had received from the wealthy Lateran family. That structure and its successors suffered fire, earthquake, and the ravages of war, but the Lat-eran remained the church where popes were con-secrated. In the 14th century when the papacy returned to Rome from Avignon, the church and the adjoining palace were found to be in ruins. Pope Innocent X commissioned the present structure in 1646. One of Rome’s most imposing churches, the Lateran’s towering facade is crowned with 15 colossal statues of Christ, John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, and 12 doctors of the Church. Beneath its high altar rest the re-mains of the small wooden table on which tradi-tion holds Saint Peter himself celebrated Mass. Unlike the commemorations of other Roman churches, this anniversary is a feast. The dedica-tion of a church is a feast for all its parishioners. In a sense, St. John Lateran is the parish church of all Catholics, because it is the pope’s cathe-dral. This church is the spiritual home of the people who are the Church.
